[Verse 1]
DmSilence slights spirits of Gmthose gone inFto the Emnight
   BbBut what was the Acost?
Do I DmjustiCfy the Gloss
   GmWhen a loss of conAtrol would be Dmdigging myCself a Bbhole?
   GmIt couldn't be Aworth it
[Chorus]
  DmI'm a killer
  DmI'm a killer
  DmI'm a killer
But I've been Fkilling myAself all aBblong
Had FI done my Ambest to prBbotect innocence
Or did FI lead the Emwolf to the Dmfawn?
[Instrumental]
C# E Bb Bbm C#m A Dm
[Verse 2]
DmWatch your words
Keep them from BbbotheriFng the hCerd
BbProvoking the sAtones
That Dmthey Call can Gthrow
BbNo, I won't carry Aon
LDmiving this lCife that I sBbtole
It Gmjust isn't woArth it
[Chorus 2]
  DmI'm a killer
  DmI'm a killer
  DmIDm'm a killer
But I've been kiFlling mAyself all Bbalong
DiFvining the rAight from the wBbrong
Had FI done my Abest to proBbtect innoDmcence
Or was sBbomething more wicCked in store?
[Verse 3]
Is there Bbvillainy insCide of me?
In sBbearch of worth
Have I Cburned the earth?
There's no Bbpassion in being Dmpassive
And no iFnaction could bring an Canswer
So for yBbou, I am a killer
